About this cemetery
Alifakovac is one of the oldest Muslim cemeteries in Sarajevo, on a steep hillside above Baščaršija and the Šeher-ćehaja bridge. Starting in the 15th century it was the final resting place of influential Sarajevans as well as of foreigners who passed through the city, which gave it the name Musafirsko (foreigners') Cemetery. Its old Ottoman headstones remain on the slope. Its phone number is +387 80 020 268, and more can be read on pokop.ba.
